Do I need to go to the DMV in person to cancel the subject 2 driving test appointment?
2 Answers
If the subject 2 driving test appointment has been successfully scheduled, you need to go to the DMV in person to cancel it. If the appointment has not been successfully scheduled, you do not need to. Below are the specific details: 1. Different scenarios for canceling an appointment: If you have received a notification of a successful appointment via the website or SMS, you need to bring your ID card and go to the DMV's comprehensive service hall one day in advance to cancel the appointment in person. If the website shows that the appointment is still under review, you can cancel it directly on the website. 2. Regulations: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," Article 43: If the applicant cannot attend the test at the scheduled time for any reason, they must apply to cancel the appointment one day in advance. If the applicant fails to attend the test at the scheduled time without canceling, the test will be deemed a failure.
I just got my driver's license not long ago, and I remember during the subject two learning phase, there were a few times when I had to cancel my appointment due to sudden commitments. Using the Traffic Management 12123 APP was completely sufficient—just a few taps on the screen to cancel the appointment, done in seconds. No need to make a special trip to the vehicle management office, saving both time and effort. Nowadays, digital platforms are widely accessible, with simple and intuitive operations, making it easy for beginners like me to get the hang of it. Only if you accidentally miss the APP or encounter device issues should you consider going to the vehicle management office for help, but that’s a very small probability event. It’s advisable to maintain your account and password properly, regularly check your appointment status, and complete cancellations at least 24 hours in advance to avoid point deductions. This way, you can make the learning process smoother, reduce extra stress, and free up more time to practice reversing into the parking space to improve your skills.
